Breeze

When the top clothes were taken off, Bai Shengsheng's shoulders were swollen and bruised, purple and bruised, which looked scary.On the thin and narrow back, there is also a thick purple mark.

Kangxi couldn't help taking a deep breath, and hurriedly said: "How did this happen? When did you have such a big piece on your back, and you didn't say a word! Is the injury serious?"

Wang Yi touched it with his fingers, and said: "Back to the emperor, brother 23 is not seriously injured, but he is young, so he is afraid of people when he looks at it. Just apply the ointment for removing blood stasis and activating collaterals and it will be fine."

Kangxi watched Xing Nian apply the medicine to Yinqi, and asked Yinqi to drink the medicine that decocted the internal fire, and asked, "Yinqi, where did you get all the injuries? Who else would dare to beat you? "

Before Yinqi could speak, he said again: "Oh! It must be Yinzhen who beat you! He beat you too!"

Yinqi hurriedly raised his head and said: "Fourth brother didn't hit Erchen on purpose. It was Erchen who ran over to stop him, but he didn't stop him. He couldn't hold back for a while, so he hit Erchen twice by mistake. The stick just touched Erchen The body doesn't hurt very much. Yinqi looked at it, when the fourth brother beat Erchen, he was more uncomfortable than the son. The fourth brother also loves us brothers in his heart. "

Kangxi snorted and said: "You don't need to speak well for him! Wait for me to teach him tomorrow!"

~~~~~~~

On the second day, indeed, when Kangxi saw Prince Yong, his expression was rather unsightly.After the fourth elder brother finished his business, Kangxi asked him about beating Hongzhou yesterday.

Then everyone gradually knew that Prince Yong had somehow offended the emperor and was fined to kneel at the door of Qingxi Bookstore, and he didn't see him screaming until noon.

Afterwards, the eunuchs serving in Qingxi Bookstore revealed the whole story, saying that Prince Yong was punished by the emperor to kneel because he beat his fifth elder brother recklessly, and almost died of the beating.It also hurt Brother 23 who was sent by the emperor to dissuade him, so that Brother 23 couldn't get up right now.The emperor was annoyed that he was too harsh and indiscriminate, so he punished him.

But this is fine, why did Prince Yong hit his brother after hitting his son?

Then another news came out, saying that it was because elder brother Hong Zhou had offended Hong Xi Baylor that Prince Yong was cruel and beat his valued son.

People who are good at spreading gossip say that it was heard a while ago that Prince Yong valued his family's fourth elder brother, isn't it the fifth elder brother who was taken into the palace by the emperor?Could it be that Prince Yong wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the fifth elder brother so that he could help the fourth elder brother go up?

Another person took the initiative to explain for Prince Yong that Prince Yong was indeed stricter with his son when he entered the palace from the fifth elder brother, but it was not because he didn't value him, but because he was afraid that his son would cause trouble in the palace, so he didn't dare to be too strict with him. Be pampered, so that children will not be arrogant.Looking at Prince Yong's style of work, he has always been very strict, and naturally he has strict requirements on his son.

It was only an hour since Prince Yong knelt down at the gate of Qingxi Bookstore, and everyone with some connections knew about his being punished to kneel.Rumors were flying all over the sky, and there was nothing lacking in what was said, so it was just spread to the capital.

Yin Qi sat beside Hong Zhou's bed, watching him sleep in a daze, and sighed inwardly.Prince Yong also has a good grasp of the power of public opinion.

Who said that only the eight princes and one party know how to build momentum by public opinion?It is clear that the fourth elder brother is also very good at playing tricks on people's hearts.

Hong Zhou woke up once in the middle of the night, drank the medicine and fell asleep again.Although it was only a flesh wound, it was not a good thing to be beaten dozens of times, and the skin was torn apart.When Yinqi came, he hadn't woken up for the second time.

Yinqi didn't want to wake him up, so he sat on the edge of his bed and looked at him for a while, then nodded to Hongli who was accompanying him, and the two walked out one after the other.

In the main room outside, Hongli asked someone to bring tea and snacks for Yinqi, and arranged Yinqi to sit down, and then asked with concern: "Yesterday, I saw the prince's stick fell on Uncle 23 several times, but Is there anything wrong? At that time, everyone in the other courtyard was in a hurry. They were careless for a while, and no one gave Uncle 23 a good look. After Uncle 23 left, Wang Ye Fujin said that he was also anxious, that is, nephew Son, also remember to be flustered."

Yin Qi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "When the prince hit Hongzhou, his face was ruthless, and I was afraid that he wanted to beat him up, but after all, he was a father, and he couldn't help himself. .It was raised high, but lowered lightly. I was hit twice, but I didn’t feel much. Otherwise, look at Hong Zhou, who was beaten to death after dozens of blows?”

Hongli lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. After a while, he raised his head again, with a forced smile on his face, and said, "Uncle 23 is fine, my nephew can rest assured."

Yin Qi thought for a while and sighed: "It's just that Hong Zhou is pitiful. No matter what, it's a good beating. This time, he will be lying on the bed for several days. I don't know when he returns to the capital for the New Year. I can't get up."

Hongli said: "Uncle 23 loves him so much, and the emperor also remembers him, so naturally he will recover sooner."

Yinqi looked at Hongli with a gloomy expression, and asked, "Why, Hongli was scared by the prince yesterday? I'm so lethargic looking at people today."

Hongli shook his head, forced a smile and said, "No. It's because I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."

Yinqi asked deliberately: "Is it because I can't read? Or because I didn't enter the country when I rode and shot?"

Hongli only said no.

Yin Qi couldn't understand that he felt uncomfortable seeing Kangxi value Hong Zhou so much.Or he was afraid that at this time he also understood the reason why the fourth elder brother treated Hong Zhou, and felt depressed.

They didn't say anything at the moment, and the two sat quietly.The little eunuch serving beside him stood upright, motionless like a wax figure.

After a while, Hongli was also suffocated by such a quiet atmosphere, and couldn't help but look up at Yinqi.Wanting to say something, he opened his mouth and then closed it again. After this several times, Hongli said to the little eunuch who was following him: "Go out and watch the door first, I have something to say to Uncle 23."

The little eunuch went out, Hongli looked at Su Yao again, knowing that Su Yao was the closest to Yinqi, but he still hesitated.After a while, he seemed to make up his mind, and said: "My nephew begs Uncle 23 once...Uncle 23 must help my nephew this time, I'm afraid the prince will despise my nephew this time!"

~~~~~~~

Yin Qi was taken aback by the expression on his face, and quickly said: "What are you saying? The prince didn't beat you, why are you so flustered?"

Hongli gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle 23, what happened yesterday was all Hongli's fault! It was Hongli who heard people outside saying that Hong Zhou followed Uncle 23 and provoked Hongxi Baylor, and Hongxi Baylor followed When the little horse farm came out, he looked very gloomy, and he was probably very angry. After my nephew came back, he was joking with Fujin, but he didn't expect that the prince overheard him!"

Yin Qi hurriedly asked: "Why, didn't the prince hear it himself?"

Hongli shook his head, with frustration and annoyance on his face, and said: "If other people gossip, I'm afraid the prince won't believe it, but after listening to me and Fujin, the prince thinks it's true! That's why I'm annoyed .”

Yin Qi asked again: "Then what? Then the prince beat Hong Zhou?"

Hongli shook his head again, and said: "No. At that time, although the prince said that his face was ugly, when Hong Zhou came back, he didn't intend to beat him. But later, the prince asked Hong Zhou to talk to him in the study. After that, I heard the sound of many objects falling in the study, and then the prince called people in, and dragged Hong Zhou out to fight..."

Yinqi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This is not purely your fault. It turned out that Hong Zhou contradicted the prince, or he said something wrong, which made the prince unhappy, so he hit him. Yesterday Even if you inappropriately gossip to Fujin about the matter that we have annoyed Hongxi Baylor, many people will know about it, and you always want the prince to hear it. You just let him know earlier, so it’s not the big Wrong. Remember to spread less gossip in the future, this is also a lesson."

Hongli's eyes were a little red, he nodded, and asked again: "Uncle 23, do you really not blame Hongli? I'm afraid that Hongzhou wakes up and thinks that I deliberately wanted to harm him. I'm also afraid that Uncle 23 won't forgive me. ..."

Yin Qi patted his hand and comforted him: "You brothers are always close. When Hong Zhou didn't enter the palace, didn't he look so good that he looked like a person? Hong Zhou naturally knew that you didn't mean it. Why do you think that you are harming him? You are also very careful. Besides, I am not that unreasonable person. You are a child, even if it is a slip of the tongue, I will teach you a few words now, you keep it in mind, Just be careful in the future, how can I not forgive you?"

Only then did Hongli heave a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you Uncle 23 for persuading me."

Seeing Yinqi smiled at him, Hongli also grinned, then sighed, and said: "When the prince comes back later, I'm afraid he will teach me a lesson."

Yinqi patted his hand again, and said: "Anyway, there is me, I will protect you even if I hit him twice again. Don't worry, it's just a careless thing. If the prince just Forget about it, it’s not him anymore.”

He immediately laughed again, and said: "My lord is being taught by the emperor right now, and I want to punish you when I come back, and I have to think about what the emperor told him - the emperor annoyed him because he taught you a lesson. The emperor's grandson."

Seeing that Hongli also laughed, Yinqi said again: "Besides, the prince loves you the most. You can apologize to him, and the prince will not criticize you."

After hearing this, the smile on Hongli's face disappeared again. After a long time, he heard him sigh and said: "Uncle 23 also said the same... Sigh, but you don't know, the prince looks at me because he loves me." , but in his heart, it is Hong Zhou who hurts more!"

Yin Qi was startled, put down his cup, and said with a smile: "How do you say that? I see that the prince is much stricter to Hong Zhou."

Hongli shook his head dejectedly, and said: "That was when I was in front of people. In the mansion, the prince didn't treat me as well as Hong Zhou. The prince only saw Hong Zhou because he lived in the palace, so he didn't see me often. I wanted to teach a few words after meeting. But I saw the prince every day, but he also taught me what he was going to teach Hong Zhou. I am afraid that everyone still thinks that the prince is pampering me. , treated Hong Zhou harshly. Sometimes when I saw Hong Zhou, I felt so angry. Why did he enter the palace? I still felt that the prince treated him badly, and I was wronged. I still have to be reprimanded twice. want……"

Yinqi listened, and couldn't help being a little stunned, and then pity for Hongli emerged in his heart.It's really not easy for these two children.

He was by Hongzhou's side, naturally he saw that Prince Yong was not treating Hongzhou well to Hongli; how could he know that Hongli's life was not easy in private.

Prince Yong loves to teach others, without Hong Zhou by his side, wouldn't Hongli have to bear two of them?

Furthermore, Hong Zhou's worth doubled after entering the palace, and Hong Li's status in the mansion would naturally be threatened.This made him grow up smoothly, doesn't he feel uncomfortable?

Yin Qi looked at his eye circles a little red again, as if remembering his grievances, and a little funny.Then he stretched out his hand to pat the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "Who didn't grow up beating children and listening to their father reprimanding them? The rules of our Manchu people have always been that fathers are strict with their sons. It is me. If you are the emperor, you should not reprimand me." ?”

Seeing Hongli looking at himself, Yinqi continued: "Hongzhou is in the palace, sometimes he misses the prince's lesson. He just feels that he is far away from Ama Erniang and Fujin, always Those who miss you will inevitably be jealous of you, and you can follow them every day. You each have your own difficulties."

Hongli nodded, and Yinqi said again: "You are real brothers, how can you get divided because of such a trivial matter? Whoever gets rich and who suffers is always a family, so why care about this? It’s too late to love each other. Sometimes Hong Zhou is angry with you, but it’s just because you treat him badly first, and he feels uncomfortable and wants to anger you on purpose. I also know that sometimes you are not good to him face, it’s because he has a playful smile and no rules.”

This remark made Master Hongli feel like a confidant, and he quickly said: "That's not the case. Sometimes when I look at Hong Zhou's appearance, and talk to Uncle 23, he is not big or small, and I feel that he has really failed the prince for many years. I couldn't help but want to say a few words to him, let him behave better, and don't lose the face of Prince Yong's mansion, and make the prince look bad."

Yinqi laughed secretly in his heart, how could he have thought of Prince Yong's Mansion?I'm afraid that he is thinking that he has to behave himself, and he can't make a wrong step, but seeing that Hong Zhou is living a comfortable life, he feels uncomfortable, so he wants to tell Hong Zhou what Prince Yong taught him again, so that he can feel the same in his heart. It's uncomfortable, but Hongli is comfortable.

But he said: "I know you, you are also a pure mind, so there are so many bad intentions. Hongzhou also understands you, it's just that he has a childish temper, and sometimes he is not convinced."

Hongli said again: "Uncle 23 is going to speak for me today. I really didn't mean it, but I'm afraid that the prince will annoy me."

Yinqi smiled and said: "Don't worry about that. I will go to the emperor's place later, and the prince is still kneeling there. I will save the prince and let him owe me a favor. Then he will use this favor to tell the prince In other words, keep him from punishing you. How about it? Are you still not at ease this time?"

Hongli hurriedly said: "Uncle 23 is bothering you."

It's just that there is still some worry on his face.
